Do you charge sales tax?
Sales tax is calculated at checkout depending on your shipping address. Some international orders also require duties and taxes.

How do I check the status of my order?
If you have an account, log into your account and go to your Order History to check on the status of your order. Click on the Order Details link to see more details about your order, including tracking information if the designer has already shipped your order. Many of our items are handmade to order, so keep in mind that processing times vary by designer.

If you don’t have an account, you will receive an order confirmation email confirming that we have received your order. When your order is shipped, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email letting you know. If you have any questions about an order, contact us for help.

Where do you ship?
We ship anywhere in the US (including PO boxes and APO addresses). We also offer international shipping to many countries. Keep in mind that some items cannot be shipped internationally. If an item is prohibited from international shipping, you’ll find a note in the Shipping & Returns tab on the product page.

What shipping carriers do you use?
Within the US, we ship via UPS Ground or USPS First Class and Priority Mail. Some of our designers may use other shipping methods, such as FedEx or DHL. We offer international shipping via FedEx and DHL.

Do you offer expedited shipping?
Many of our designers make their products by hand, so expedited shipping isn’t always available. To check if your order can be expedited, contact our customer service team and we’d be happy to help.

How can I track my order?
Once the designer ships your item, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information so that you can follow your item’s journey. You can also find your item’s tracking number by clicking on the Order Details link in your Order History.

Please note that if your order includes items from multiple designers, your order will arrive in multiple packages.

How long will it take for me to receive my order?
Processing and shipping times vary by designer. Most orders are processed within a few business days. To see the processing time for an item, check the Shipping & Returns tab on the product page. Once shipped, US orders typically take 3 business days to arrive.

How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs vary based on the shipping destination and the location of the designer. The exact price of shipping for your order will be automatically calculated at checkout, but here’s a quick overview:

Do you offer free shipping?
We occasionally offer free shipping for orders shipped within the United States. To receive free shipping, your item must be shipped from a designer in the US to a destination in the US. To see where your item ships from, click on the Shipping & Returns tab on the product page.

How do you handle duties and taxes for international orders?
If your shipping address is in a Delivery Duties Paid (DDP) country, all duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and included in your total. If your shipping address is in a Delivery Duties Unpaid (DDU) country, you are liable for all import duties, customs, and local sales taxes levied by the country to which you are shipping. You will have to pay all fees required to release your order from customs.

What is your return policy?
Return policies vary by designer. Click the Shipping & Returns tab on the product page to see if your item is eligible for return. Most items in unused condition with the original packaging can be returned for a full refund within 14 days of receipt. We offer free returns for US orders.

All returns must arrive unused and in the original packaging. Items that are personalized, made to order, or one of a kind are not eligible for return. We reserve the right to refuse returns or issue store credit in place of a full refund.
